China’s 3 GW solar plant with nearly 6,000,000 panels to power millions of homes | With nearly 6 million panels, the project will prevent release of 4.7 million tons of CO2 every year.


The Mengxi Blue Ocean PV Power Plant Project in Gobi desert is China's largest single site solar power plant.

However, large-capacity solar power plants require large tracts of land, which is difficult to achieve in densely populated regions with high electricity demand. The Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station covers an area of 7,000 hectares (70 sq km) and is home to more than 5.9 million solar panels. The facility also uses artificial intelligence (AI) powered solar tracking technology from Arctech for real-time shading avoidance and achieving an energy boost of eight percent, another press release added.
